n8n

Fair-code workflow platform for orchestrating AI agents with human controls.

What the agent does

n8n lets teams mix AI agents, code, and deterministic steps with 1000+ integrations so agents can be observed, evaluated, and put into production.

Business model

Open-core / cloud SaaS + self-host

Lessons for builders

  • Hybrid autonomy (not pure agent, not pure rules) is the production sweet spot.
  • Community + fair-code distribution is a growth engine.
  • Get embedded inside an incumbent's platform: SAP is building n8n into its Joule Studio agent builder, putting it in front of SAP's enterprise base without a separate sales cycle.
